In September of 2013, Schaefer was named the DYW for Whitley County, which qualified her for the state stage. As part of her time in Kokomo, Schaefer presented a vocal piece for her talent and participated in a fitness routine and on-stage interview. After her week at the state event, Schaefer was greeted at a party. Approximately 50 supporters came to the Whitley County Community Foundation to congratulate her.
